Countdown to Saturday, May 9, 2020
78 days to go

Years of lying to myself on the “amount” eaten is becoming a reality.
My carb/cal app is a wonderful tool.
Cutting out red meat sure helps keeping the calories down.
Adding up both cal & carbs, I used to eat around 750 carbs & 5700 calories per day 🤐
Started using Nivea Q10 for sagging skin 2/17
Decided to cut out meat once a week 2/19

My new favorite saying:
Hang on, let me overthink this

Starting to notice that managing the obsessiveness of thought pertaining to weight/food/scales/clothing in my head is a far greater task than food control.

Wanting to set a goal to run again—scared to pieces since at my height of running, plantar fasciitis reared it’s ugly head—ah yes, ground zero. Okay, okay. Not being able to walk for month’s on end is not necessarily the culprit for pounding down mashed potatoes.

After reading how Thud123 set a goal for no snacking in the car, a memory popped up on how smoking in the car became routine. I definetly exchanged food for Marlboro lights some 15 years ago.

90 day goal:

🚫 Red Meat 🥩
Net carbs < 30g 🥑 or
Caloric intake < 1300 🥗
Exercise daily—swim or walk 🏊🏻‍♀️
🚫 Meat on Tuesdays 🍤🥩🥓🥘🍗

right on
🎶 get back on it 🎶

Week 1 of 13

Week 2 of 13
Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun

Day 12-wow, almost 2 WEEKS already.

No bread, crackers
No tater tots potato chips
No Sweet Potato Chips


Down a pound today, YAY! I realized this morning that I don't have much confidence that I will REALLY lose weight and feel better, be healthier in any significant way, if I stay on this WOE. I cut down the calories and carbs yesterday, so yeah, let's do the same today and see what happens. It's like my brain doesn't really "get it" that what I eat actually HAS ANYTHING to do with my weight/health.



That's my problem exactly! Of course I have OCD, but I don't need to be wringing my hands about this. Only do the best that I can and keep going.

Starting taking Progesterone again: Natpro

Practicing WAITING to eat, regardless of the urges to EAT RIGHT NOW!

Shoot Ken a message on his Journal - He's in tune with running - doing 10K's now - started just walking and transitioned. Not sure are what part of his journey he did that or at what weight but yeah, I had that planters thing and it was difficult to walk for like 2 months. I'm not sure how it happened other than just being to heavy.

Day 4 done; lemon mag 😋, Nordic Track new levels getting a bit easier, will admit mile 4-5, the child in me wanted to stop...lol....strength training did not get done, I have finished my session for today and will throw a second one in right before I eat......keeps me on track to know if I don't do it one day, I have to do it twice the next day.... Carbs were 14.4, so good, I was hungry last night so I had salad greens, my homemade cesear salad dressing and a slice of bacon chopped up over it. It means calories were higher but my macros were still good. Water was slow at start of day, but had finished 4 bottles by days end.

Day 14-Keep going up and down the same pound. Today I'll cut the carbs down and see what happens.

No bread, crackers
No tater tots potato chips
No Sweet Potato Chips

Weighed 252.

Just listening to James Taylor "Shower the People"

Hey thanks for the info. Plantar fasciitis was a foreign word to me until I started noticing my instep ached when swimming with fins and then one morning I couldn’t step on my right foot. I stopped exercising but, kept eating.

BTW...

You look good in X’s.

No bread, crackers really mean no wheat, although it's okay if there is a little bit in, say, prepared meatballs I buy. But only a LITTLE bit. No eating, for instance, the spaghetti my sister made yesterday, oh that was TEMPTING! LOL But I didn't give in.
